- 1994, "Älska mig [Love Me]", in Sanningens morgon [The Morning of Truth][2] , performed by Köttgrottorna:
- Jag blir äldre och mindre attraktiv. Rent ut sagt fulare. Åren går så fort att jag har svårt att följa med. Jag byter punkfrisyr mot munkfrisyr och ansiktet det skrynklar ihop sig, men mina egocentriska behov, de kvarstår år efter år.
- I'm getting older and less attractive. Uglier, to put it bluntly. The years go by so fast that I have a hard time keeping up. I exchange punk hairdo for monk hairdo and my face [it – redundant] crumples up, but my egocentric needs, they remain year after year.
